• "It is not enough to be compassionate  you must act." --H.H. Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

• "The spirit we have, not the work we do, is what makes us important to the people around us." -- Sr. Joan Chittister, OSB

• "We conclude that biology does not condemn humanity to war, and that humanity can be freed from the bondage of biological pessimism and empowered with confidence to undertake the transformative tasks needed... in the years to come. Although these tasks are mainly institutional and collective, they also rest upon the consciousness of individual participants for whom pessimism and optimism are crucial factors. Just as 'wars begin in the minds of men,' peace also begins in our minds. The same species who invented war is capable of inventing peace. The responsibility lies with each of us." --Concluding words of the scientists and scholars who wrote the Seville Statement (UNESCO, 1984)
